This is an revised application for the competitive renewal of an Institutional Training Grant in Neural Injury and Plasticity. We request support for 2 advanced predoctoral (thesis research) students and two postdoctoral students as well as one short-term summer research fellow who will be trained in research in neural injury and plasticity by faculty participating in the Center for Neural Injury and Recovery (CNIR) at Georgetown University. The purpose of this training program is to prepare scientists to investigate undamental mechanisms of neural injury, and basic mechanisms of plasticity in response to injury that may be functionally beneficial or detrimental. Our goal is to train researchers who will be capable of, and committed to, the basic science component of developing novel and effective treatment strategies to reduce the functional impairments associated with neural injury. An experienced and well-funded group of 28 faculty with a wide range of research interests and expertise relevant to neural injury and plasticity will participate in training. A key aspect of the program is that students will be encourage to have co-mentors and particpoate in research representing collaborations among the laboratories of the training faculty. Predoctoral students will enter the Program in Neural Injury and Plasticity after basic training in neuroscience under the auspices of the Georgetown University Interdisciplinary Program in Neuroscience (IPN). Students will have the opportunity for research rotations in the laboratories of the training faculty in their first two years as graduate students while they are completing required and elective courses. They will develop a thesis research proposal in Neural Injury and Plasticity under the direction of mentors chosen from the training program- Both predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees will participate in educational programs of the CNIR including special Seminars and Research Minisymposia and specific Journal Clubs focused on current research in areas relevant to neural injury and plasticity. With respect to public health, this program will create a cadre of future neuroscience researchers who will contribute to the development of therapies to mitigate some of our most pressing health care problems as we increasingly survive to suffer the chronic effects of neural trauma, neurodegenerative diseases and other neurological disorders.

这是对神经损伤机构培训补助金的竞争续订的修订申请 和可塑性。我们要求支持2位高级前（论文研究）学生和两个 博士后生以及一名短期夏季研究员，他们将接受研究的培训 教师参加神经损伤与康复中心（CNIR）的神经伤害和可塑性（CNIR） 乔治敦大学。该培训计划的目的是准备科学家调查 神经损伤的不详细机制，以及响应损伤的可塑性基本机制，可能 在功能上有益或有害。我们的目标是培训将有能力并 致力于制定新颖有效的治疗策略的基本科学组成部分 与神经损伤有关的功能障碍。一个经验丰富且资金充足的28位教职员工 具有广泛的研究兴趣和与神经损伤和可塑性有关的专业知识将参与 训练。该计划的一个关键方面是，将鼓励学生拥有联合会所和专业人士 在代表培训学院实验室之间合作的研究中。专业的学生 在主持人的神经科学基础培训后，将在神经损伤和可塑性方面输入该计划 乔治敦大学神经科学跨学科计划（IPN）。学生将有 培训学院实验室的研究旋转机会的机会 学生完成所需的课程和选择课程。他们将开发论文研究 在训练计划中选出的导师指导下，神经损伤和可塑性的提议 - 托管前和博士后学员都将参加CNIR的教育计划，包括 特殊研讨会和研究迷你典礼和特定期刊俱乐部的重点是当前的研究 与神经损伤和可塑性有关的区域。关于公共卫生，该计划将创建一个干部 未来的神经科学研究人员，他们将有助于发展疗法以减轻一些 随着我们越来越生存以遭受神经的慢性影响，我们最紧迫的医疗保健问题 创伤，神经退行性疾病和其他神经系统疾病。
